Do you bleed easy or BRUISE??? My sister & I are first generation born in Australia in the 1940's only recently we were both diagnosed with an inherited bleeding disorder called VON WILLABRANDS DISORDER ( slow clotting blood ) All the above names are in our recent ancestors names in England & Scotland does anyone have any connection to the names and if so do you heal slowly or bruise easy? Our parents are dead and left the UK in the early 1900's with no contact back then to family left behind in the UK we don't know which parent we inherited from. Maybe someone out there has symptoms or children who don't know they are afflicted. We would love to trace any family alive in the UK today.
